"I am heartbroken by the passing of my friend Edith Windsor. Edie was an iconic New Yorker who carried on the fight for equality and achieved an historic victory on the path to justice. She embodied the New York spirit, taking it upon herself to tear down barriers for others and ensure marriage equality was the law of the land. I will always admire her strength and her perseverance in the face of adversity. I will never forget her, and, on behalf of all New Yorkers, I extend my deepest condolences to those who loved her and have been touched by her work and her advocacy."
